Interesting. If I understand correctly, this allows implementing
something similar to Gerrit's magic branches, where when you push to it,
a script/hook on the server can do something arbitrary with it?

In any case, I don't think we'll want to develop anything new here, that
wouldn't be a very good way to spend our time. But perhaps this will
lead to useful tools being developed in the future.
